Cable connection assembly

Abstract

A cable connection assembly for connecting a cable ( 1 ) to a connection point ( 5 ), wherein a conductor part ( 11 ) of the cable is connected to a connector element ( 2 ) and the connector element ( 2 ) is adapted for mechanically engaging to said connection point ( 5 ). A charged elastomer material ( 3 ) is disposed on said connector element ( 2 ) or on the connector element and the conductor part ( 11 ) substantially covering the connector element ( 2 ), or the connector element ( 2 ) and the conductor part ( 11 ), for absorbing parasitic interference from the connector element ( 2 ) or the connector element and the conductor part ( 11 ). Electrical current induced in the elastomer material by said absorbed parasitic interference is drained off to a the mass through a shield.

1 . A cable connection assembly for connecting a cable ( 1 ) to a connection point ( 5 ), the cable comprising a conductor part ( 11 ) for connection to a connector element ( 2 ), the connector element ( 2 ) adapted for mechanically engaging to said connection point ( 5 ), characterized in that a charged elastomer material ( 3 ) is disposed on said connector element ( 2 ) or on the connector element and the conductor part ( 11 ), such that said elastomer material ( 3 ) substantially covers the connector element ( 2 ), or the connector element ( 2 ) and the conductor part ( 11 ), for suppressing or substantially attenuating parasitic interference from said connector element ( 2 ) or the connector element and the conductor part ( 11 ).  
     
     
         2 . A cable connection assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the charged elastomer material is adapted for entering into physical contact with a shield and providing electrical continuity with said shield.  
     
     
         3 . A cable connection assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said suppression or attenuation of parasitic interference is done by said charged elastomer by absorbing electromagnetic radiation or electrostatic interference from said connector element or said conductor part.  
     
     
         4 . A cable connection assembly according to  claim 2 , wherein said charged elastomer is adapted for draining off electrical current induced by the absorption of said parasitic interference, through said shield to a mass.  
     
     
         5 . A cable connection assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said charged elastomer material is disposed on said connector element or on the connector element and the conductor part by over-molding.  
     
     
         6 . A cable connection assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said charged elastomer material comprises particles of nickel and graphite in a proportion according to the desired level of attenuation.
